A compass. The North magnetic pole is in the direction of the N
on the compass. Therefore, the North magnetic pole is in fact a
magnetic field south pole since it *attracts* the north magnetic
field pole of the compass magnet.

A compass needle is a small magnet that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. When near a stronger magnetic field, like that of a magnet, the compass needle will be influenced by the stronger field and adjust its direction to align with it.

A compass will work as long as it is not near strong magnetic fields or electronic devices that can interfere with its reading. Additionally, in extreme polar regions, the magnetic north and south poles can shift, affecting the accuracy of the compass.

If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its
needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
